Establishes a plant-based-by-default policy for state-operated prisons, state-licensed hospitals, and government-sponsored events in Hawaii.

The bill establishes a plant-based-by-default policy for state-operated prisons, state-licensed hospitals, and government-sponsored events in Hawaii. It mandates that these entities offer only plant-based food products by default, allowing attendees and patients to opt out. The policy aims to reduce dietary risk factors for diseases, promote public health, and support local farmers. The Department of Health and the Department of Transportation will implement these changes, with annual reports submitted to the Hawaii climate change mitigation and adaptation commission.
